Chapter 111: The Power of Spiritual Will

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:

Mo Wuji’s choice was ultimately the Transcending Mortality Pill. The Transcending Mortality Pill was very valuable and the refining difficulty was only considered to be average among all the other Tier 3 spiritual pills. Mo Wuji felt it was the best to use such medicine to study about Tier 3 spiritual pills.

After igniting the earth fire as well as cleaning the furnace, Mo Wuji sent the different herbs into the furnace. The first step was to purify the spiritual herbs. He could do this very well even when he was at Channel Opening Stage Level 4. Presently, he was much more comfortable and familiar with this and he finished purifying all the herbs in about half an hour.

Only up till now could Mo Wuji truly feel his own improvement. Back then he required so much more effort to purify a Tier 3 spiritual herb as compared to now.

Now that he had advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 7, purification of the Tier 3 spiritual herbs were as easy as writing. The process was smooth without any hiccups. Mo Wuji was sure that his purification of the Tier 3 spiritual herbs had now exceeded the 90% purification level.

After getting the dregs out of the furnace, Mo Wuji made use of both the hand techniques as well as elementary energy to constantly churn the medicinal essences in the furnace. He had begun fusing the medicinal essences.

For many pill refiners, this was the hardest step. The first time Mo Wuji tried to concoct the Transcending Mortality Pill, he failed at the fusion step too. In fact, before he could even start fusing the medicinal essences, the essences had already dispersed.

Previously, Mo Wuji was unable to control the spiritual nature of the medicinal essences. However, it was made easier this time round because of his hand techniques.

Another half an hour passed by as Mo Wuji’s hand techniques became much smoother. Every movement was matched perfectly with his elementary energy in the furnace.

Step by step, Mo Wuji did not face any difficulty.

After an hour, there was the scent of pills coming out from the pill furnace. Mo Wuji became even more focused as his hand techniques were constantly at work within the furnace. Very soon, he began collecting the pills.

After another 10 minutes, 12 logan-like cream coloured pills were brought out by Mo Wuji and kept in a jade bottle prepared long ago.

Mo Wuji took out a pill to sniff and observed it for half a day before heaving a long sigh and putting it back into the bottle.

He succeeded in concocting his first batch of Tier 3 Mortal Spirit Pills after advancing to Channel Opening Stage Level 7. This meant that Mo Wuji would be a Tier 3 pill refiner from this moment onwards.

In less than half a year, Mo Wuji progressed from a normal drug refiner to a Tier 3 pill refiner. Not even Yan Qianyin’s grandmaster was so impressive right? Furthermore, he had no spiritual roots to begin with. Only he knew how difficult it was to get to where he was. Yan Qianyin’s grandmaster was definitely way ahead of him in terms of cultivation level. Moreover, Mo Wuji was sure he had a mentor to guide him and had no need to source for his own cultivation resource like Mo Wuji.

At the thought of this, Mo Wuji was feeling a little proud of himself for being slightly more capable than Yan Qianyin’s grandmaster.

However, Mo Wuji threw this thought away very quickly as he took out the spiritual herbs of Spirit Strengthening Pill.

Advancing to become a Tier 3 pill refiner might be important but concocting the Spirit Strengthening Pill was just as important. He could be able to possess spiritual will if he was able to get hold of the Spirit Strengthening Pill. With the power of spiritual will, this meant that he could easily put his pill technique to good effect. With the pill technique, who knows if he might even be able to concoct a Earth grade Tier 4 pill?

Mo Wuji could close his eyes and still handled the Tier 1 and 2 spiritual herbs well. Even though he could also easily handle the Tier 3 spiritual herbs, he was still very cautious in placing the Icy Soul Grass, Leafless Fog Rattan, Green Frost Fruit, Little Freedom Flower, Round-whisked Wind Fruit as well as the other Tier 3 spiritual herbs neatly at one side.

As the earth fire was ignited again, Mo Wuji cleaned the pill furnace thoroughly a few more times.

As stalks of spiritual herbs were sent into the furnace, Mo Wuji managed to remove the dregs using the hand techniques combined with the earth fire.

To ensure success, Mo Wuji got rid of the dregs a few times. He only started the fusion of the medicinal essences when he had no other way to get rid of anymore dregs.

Two hours passed and Mo Wuji was still fusing the medicinal essences.

Although both were Tier 3 spiritual pills, the Spirit Strengthening Pill was much tougher to concoct than the Transcending Mortality Pill. Mo Wuji even suspected that this Spirit Strengthening Pill might be a Tier 4 spiritual pill which only an Earth Pill Refiner would be able to concoct. Unfortunately, he was only at Channel Opening Stage Level 7. Even if he managed to concoct the Spirit Transcending Pill, he could forget about concocting this Spirit Strengthening Pill.

“Peng!” A depressing explosion occurred and then black smoke emerged from Mo Wuji’s furnace. The burnt smell of the medicinal essences spreaded across the room as Mo Wuji was shocked for a moment. Just as he thought this furnace of Spirit Strengthening Pill was about to succeed, it exploded.
